Chapter 698


    His brows knitting together, John momentarily stilled while standing on the step. Then, he exited


    WhatsApp and ced his cell phone back into his pocket. Having done that, he nonchntly went


    downstairs.


    Matilda was in the kitchen, preparing breakfast with Ms. Cannon. Walking over, John peered in from


    the entrance before saying, “I phoned Dadst night and asked him about his rtionship with


    Ynda.”


    Surprised, Matilda nced over her shoulder at him. “Okay. Well?”


    At this, John chuckled. “Looks like you’re rather interested in knowing about Dad’s affairs.”


    Lowering her head, Matilda continued with her current chore. “I’d be lying if I were to say that I’m not


    interested. I’d still be somewhat curious. Well, get on with it. What did your father say?”


    John leaned against the door frame with his arms crossed. “Dad said that he has never had a romantic


    rtionship with her and they’re just friends.”


    Upon hearing this, Matilda snickered. “Yeah, they’re just friends. They must be bosom friends for him to

    be so concerned about her.”


    John arched an eyebrow. “I didn’t ask him about the rest, nor did he offer any information. I just thought


    it’ll be prudent for me to tell you this. You can then form your own judgment, and of course, the decision


    lies in your hands.”


    Matilda nodded. “Alright, got it. Go and wait in the dining room. Breakfast will be ready soon.”


    John then stared at her profile for a while before he whirled around and went to the dining room. If this


    had happened in the past, she would’ve definitely imed that she wasn’t interested in knowing and


    feigned insouciance considering her temperament. Then, she’d make discreet inquiries. Truthfully


    speaking, her candid attitude now is much more likable.


    ting the sd, Matilda straightened before heaving a sigh. Beside her, Ms. Cannon cast her a


    nce. “If you’re free today, you can ask Mr. Constance out for a meal. I noticed that you two got along


    quite well yesterday.”


    “No way,” Matilda shot back at once. “I don’t want to have a meal with him. That’s aimless.” After


    saying that, she pondered for a moment before saying, “I’ll just leave things as they are. Things are


    vague between him and Ynda, so I don’t want to insert myself into the equation. A love triangle will


    just end up in utter chaos. Plus, I feel a headacheing on at the mere thought of it.” When she


    reached the door with the te in hand, she suddenly added to no apparent person, “Things are good


    now, so I’ll just leave it at that.” Then, she went to the dining room.


    John was still looking at his cell phone since Zack had sent him a message. While Zack appeared


    sé on the surface, he was actually quite efficient. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to work


    with John for so many years. He’d sent over a picture of the person in the photo Roselia previously


    provided. He’d already investigated the person and ascertained his identity. All in all, it was a detailed


    investigation with all his activities throughout the years listed there inly.


    John scrutinized the investigative report for a long time. This person has done quite a lot of things. He’s


    done some small business, but it didn’t yield much profit and fell through in the end. ording to the


    report, he’s been working at the shadow bank for two years. At this time, he recalled the name list given


    by Husky. I merely scanned it roughly back then, so I can’t remember whether this person’s name was


    on it. But since it’s been two years, he’s probably not a low-level errand boy but has some authority at


    least.


    After studying the information for a while, he then typed out a message to Zack. Before he’d finished


    doing so, Matilda came over and sat down across from him. Raising his eyes to her, Johnughed.


    “What is it? Judging from your demeanor, you seem to have something to say to me?”


    Matilda let out a sigh. “It’s nothing much actually. I just want to ask how much you know about what’s


    happening between your father and Ynda.”


    After a moment’s contemtion, John ced his cell phone down and took a sip of soy milk. “Not


    much. I only know that Dad went to take care of Ynda back when she was hospitalized. When he


    came back, he always told us what he did in the hospital. Putting aside his character and speaking just


    from his upfront manner, I don’t think there’s anything scandalous going on between them.”
